Don't know. I was just, maybe a little far out, reading this as an observation
of the digitalization of desire. Furthermore, I always have to laugh when I
read the passage. Is this somehow not "correct"?
KFL /: PS: In erotic, aesthetic or spiritual contexts SOME women surely enjoy
being "mediums of exchange". Also in politics. Like Frenesi? Of course
this is - mutatis mutandis - also true for men.
